Doomed by the evil warlock Forwin to wander the ancient seas as a
mermaid for all eternity, Perdita longs for the release death would bring.
Every ten years she has a chance to break the curse when she emerges from the
sea fully human for one month. The catch? She must find a man willing to die
for her.
Captain Savion Ryne wants nothing to do with beautiful women. It was
one such woman whose betrayal ruined his life and his reputation. After nearly
drowning in a storm at sea, he wakes on an island with visions of a dark haired
mermaid pulling him from the water. When a woman similar in appearance begs for
his protection, he is suspicious.
Perdita has never met anyone as honorable as Savion. Even though he
shuns her every advance, she falls for him. But as the end of her time on land
approaches, she faces the hardest decision of all, save Savion and remain
cursed for all eternity or break the curse and watch the man she loves die.
Mermaids
and pirates and warlocks, oh my! MaryLu Tyndall’s newest novel, Tears of the
Sea, captures a wonderful bit of fantasy within its pages. I haven’t read
anything by Tyndall before (though her books have been sitting amidst many
others on my “To Read” list for a while), but I am certainly glad I picked this
one up. It’s an enchanting and imaginative tale of love, hope and sacrifice, as
Perdita attempts to break the curse put upon her centuries ago. From the start,
Tyndall hooked me in her prose and I couldn’t help but turn page after page to
find out what the end would look like for Perdita and Savion. With gripping
adventure and heartening romance, Tears of the Sea is a most enjoyable
read and I would recommend it to readers looking for a good blend of fantasy and romance.
Thanks to MaryLu Tyndall and Pump Up Your Book, I
received a copy of Tears of the Sea and the opportunity to provide an
honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the
opinions I have expressed are my own.
About the Author
Best-selling and award-winning author, MaryLu Tyndall
dreamt of pirates and sea-faring adventures during her childhood days on
Florida’s Coast. After obtaining a degree in math and working as software
engineer for 15 years, she decided to test the waters as a writer. With now
more than fourteen books published, she makes no excuses for the spiritual
themes embedded within her romantic adventures. Her hope is that readers will
not only be entertained but will be brought closer to the Creator who loves
them beyond measure. In a culture that accepts the occult, wizards, zombies,
and vampires without batting an eye, MaryLu hopes to show the awesome present
and powerful acts of God in a dying world. MaryLu makes her home with her
husband, six children, and several stray cats on the California coast, where
her imagination still surges with the sea.
Thank you so much for the great review! I'm so glad you enjoyed Tears. :-)
